SHE should take her tastebuds on a cruise!
A 65-year old British woman, June Blythe,
has had her sense of smell and taste
restored via surgery after 40 years.
Blythe, an avid cook, lost the two senses
after suffering chronic rhinosinusitis in 1975.
Having no sense of smell did not
however stop her from becoming an
aromatherapist, whilst having no sense of
taste did not stop her from continuing on
with her love of cooking- for which she won
many competitions.
“I had to rely on memories to remember
how things smelled and tasted,” she said.
Blythe underwent the surgery earlier in
the year and said it wasn’t until ten days
after the operation when she was making
scones that she realised that she could smell
the lemon she was zesting- imagine how
she’d go in Salt grill by Luke Mangan!
